Clutches

Driveline axes coupled with Coulomb friction

Clutch blocks allow you to transfer rotational motion and torque among
spinning components at different speeds and gear ratios. In general, a
single set of gears is not sufficient to accomplish this transfer. Control
the time, method, and quantity of transferred power by building
high-fidelity custom clutch systems that connect clutches to multiple blocks
from the Gears library. Determine how heat generation affects the efficiency
and temperature of driveline components using thermal variants of clutch
blocks.
